Blur Faces in School Photos
Share the moment without sharing identities. BlurFaces runs entirely in your browser, so you can safely post class, team, club, and field‑trip photos without revealing who’s in them. No account. No tracking. No uploads of original images.
Why blur student faces?
Classroom memories matter—but publishing identifiable student photos can expose kids to unwanted contact, facial recognition, and long‑term digital footprints. Blurring faces lets you celebrate the scene (projects, posters, trophies) while protecting identities.
How BlurFaces works
- On‑device only: Face detection and blurring happen locally in your browser. Originals never leave your device.
- Smart detection: Automatic face boxes for each person; toggle faces on/off individually.
- Manual masks: Draw rectangles over nametags, whiteboards, or bystanders that aren’t students.
- Controls that fit schools: Padding around faces, adjustable blur strength, and watermark‑free HD export with a small pass.
Step‑by‑step for teachers
- Open BlurFaces, then drag a class or event photo into the drop zone.
- Review detected faces; click any box to exclude (for staff who consented), or keep all blurred.
- Tap “Add mask” and draw over names, ID badges, or classroom signs if needed.
- Set blur strength (12–20px works for most shots) and increase padding to cover hats and hairlines.
- Export a blurred copy. Free includes a small corner mark; upgrade for HD and no watermark.
Best practices
- Capture photos at a neutral angle so faces are easier to mask consistently.
- Avoid uploading originals to social apps; always blur locally first.
